NPP delegates urged to vote for Aliu
Mahama
Fomena (Ash), July 30, Ghanadot/GNA- The Adansi Zongo Muslim
community has called on the delegates to this year's
congress of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to elect the
Vice-President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama as the flagbearer because
he stands for truth and discipline.
Alhaji Jibrin Ibrahim, Chief of Adansi Zongo, told the Ghana
News Agency at Fomena in the Adansi North district, that the
nation needed a leader who is selfless, truthful and hates
indiscipline.
He said the Vice-President stood for all these qualities and
that it would serve the NPP better should they vote for him
as their flagbearer for the 2008 general elections.
The Vice-President recently toured the Adansi State as part
of his working visit to the Ashanti region during which he
inspected a number of development projects at Obuasi,
Akrofuom and Fomena.
Alhaji Aliu Mahama also used the tour to address Muslim
communities and affirmed his intention to contest for the
Presidential slot of the NPP.
Alhaji Ibrahim said newspaper reports had created a wrong
impression that the Vice-President had no support from the
Muslim community. "That is not true. We are solidly behind
him because he believes in God, he is also truthful and
disciplined".
He indicated that all Muslim communities in the Adansi area
would readily support the NPP in the 2008 elections should
Alhaji Aliu Mahama emerge as the flagbearer.
He appealed to the constituencies in the Adansi State in
particular and the Ashanti region in general to support and
vote for the Vice President.
He commended the Vice President for the various roles he had
played in the government to ensure that the Muslim community
received their fair share of the national cake.
"The Obuasi Municipal Assembly's assistance to the Zongo
community in the areas of water, schools and the
rehabilitation of the Chief's palace came as a result of the
influence of the Vice President", Alhaji Ibrahim said.
The Zongo Chief said Alhaji Aliu Mahama had proved his
competence in the governing of this country because never
had any confusion erupted in the country anytime the
President left for foreign assignments.
He therefore urged the NPP delegates to select him, since he
was the better choice.
